Caucasian mountain observatory of Sternberg astronomical institute: six years of operation

Abstract

The new SAI MSU observatory 2.5-meter telescope and capabilities of its current instrumentation are described. The facility operates actively since 2014 in parallel to the engineering works. It has delivered a number of prominent results in the field of optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy as well as newly developed observational techniques like differential speckle polarimetry.
